Notes

• This skill can only be used when the Stomping Boots give their "stomping" message at the beginning of combat. Once used, the message will disappear until the boots have recharged.
• Using this skill instantly kills the opponent, except for bosses and certain special monsters.
• The player does not receive any stats for a stomped monster. Familiars and Pasta Thralls gain experience as usual.
• Other than in the context of the exceptions listed below, stomped enemies will not drop any items or meat. This includes quest items and items that normally have a 100% drop rate.
• Special events that are triggered by a monster's death generally do occur:
  • Screambats scream.
  • Zones in The Cyrpt become less evil.
  • You might find a beer lens from an Unemployed knob goblin.
  • Island War allies make their kills.
  • Slimes may drop a chamois. If they previously swallowed a piece of equipment, the appropriate slime-covered item can drop.
  • Adventuring underwater consumes an extra turn (when not Fishy).
  • You might find teeth for a Fossilized necklace, when applicable.
  • You earn a Clan Trophy from the C. H. U. M. chieftain.
  • You get stats from Antiphon, modified by moon sign and/or April Shower buff.
  • Crates still drop items as usual.
  • The robots in the Thinknerd Warehouse still drop returned Thinknerd packages.
  • Items found after combat in the flaming Red Zeppelin still drop.
  • The loose coalition of yetis, snowmen, and goats will drop a tiny frozen prehistoric meteorite jawbreaker, if the other conditions are met.
  • If in Birdform, the special Birdform drops can still occur.
  • The Li'l Businessman Kit can still activate, giving you the appropriate currency for the area.
• Against boss monsters and some unique monsters, this skill does not provide an instant kill and paste drop; instead, it deals damage and displays the following message:

<Familiar name> shuffles its heels, gets a running start, then leaps on <him> and stomps mightily for 90-110 damage.

• The player gets a consumable spleen item (size/fullness 4) based on the monster's type. Each paste gives both adventures and substats roughly equivalent to spleen items dropped by past Mr. Store familiars.
  • They give 5–10 adventures, the same as bottles of agua de vida, coffee pixie sticks, globs of groose grease or Unconscious Collective Dream Jars and slightly less than glimmering roc feathers.
  • They give slightly less substats than glimmering roc feathers or globs of groose grease.
• Using a paste also grants you 10 turns of a bonus effect. The following is a table of the pastes and their effects:
